Old Town Brewing Releases Warp Speed, Coffee Pale in Bottles

Portland,
Ore. – (January 12, 2016) Old Town Brewing® (OTB®), a locally owned and operated Portland brewery, announced
today that it will release its newest bottled beer, Warp Speed, a unique coffee
pale ale, this week.

In a marriage that’s fundamentally
Portland, this combination of coffee and beer makes for a robust and refreshing
coffee blend. Warp Speed gets its flavor from being aged on whole coffee beans
for a slow, cold extraction keeping the delicate nuances of a cold pressed
coffee, instead of the typical method of blending beer with a concentrated
coffee, which tends to leave a suppressed coffee aroma and flavor. Warp Speed’s
rich coffee character mixed with the malt and hops make it an aggressive and
surprisingly refined draft.

Warp Speed is 5 percent ABV, 25 IBU and
O.G. of 12.3 – the brewers at Old Town recommend enjoying this buzz-worthy
blend at 45 degrees Fahrenheit, paired with a spicy Cajun dish, slow roasted
brisket or dark chocolate. Take this beer fireside, enjoy it on the snowy
mountains, or swap it for your morning coffee on Saturday.

To celebrate the brewery’s second
installment in its seasonal bottle series, and third available bottled beer,
Warp Speed will be released at several tasting events across Portland,
including:

North 45 –
Brew Hog, Thursday, January 14, 2016, 6-9p.m.

Civic Taproom
& Bottle Shop, Friday, January 15, 2016, 6-9p.m.

Hollywood
Beverage, Saturday, January 16, 2016, 4-6p.m.

Beginning this week, bottles of Warp Speed
will be available at several retail stores
and bottle shops, including most Whole Foods, and New Seasons locations.

“We like to keep true to our hometown, and
what better way to play with the flavors of Portland then making a coffee
beer,” said owner of Old Town Brewing, Adam Milne. “When we considered making a
coffee beer, we wanted to do something that would surprise people, instead of
brewing a coffee stout or other heavier, richer styles. We’re couldn’t be
happier with where we landed – the approachability of the pale mixed with the
clean coffee flavors make this a beer we thinking everyone will love.”

Old Town Brewing began bottling its award
winning beers in April of 2015, and is now available in retail, bottle shop,
and tap house locations across Portland and Southwest Washington. It’s bottled
brews include gold-winning Shanghai’d IPA, and silver medalist, the Sun Dazed
Kölsch.
